American YouTuber and professional boxer Jake Paul believes he is on the trajectory to fight super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez someday.
Paul made the remarks to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour (h/t Jed I. Goodman).
“I think the path that I’m on now tees me up in the future to fight Canelo,” Paul said in part.
“You know, it’s even just showing him that I can go 10 or 12 rounds with you, and I’ve done that with real, legitimate pro boxers and beat them. So when I beat these guys in the year or two to come and continue to raise the level of opposition, I think me vs. Canelo becomes a really interesting fight…”
Paul has previously made it clear that he would like to fight Álvarez someday, as per his Oct. 2 Instagram post featuring
